[X] Plan Hopeless Romantic
-[X] The Followers of the Nameless One, a militaristic religion that is almost unique to Starford and the area surrounding it. There's some power in their words but others don't take too kindly to this upstart religion.
-[X] The Wilds was your home, you grew up with a travelling caravan, travelling the lands of Starford and beyond, you are much more ready to travel and you can almost always find an old friend on the road. You view your familiar as a travelling buddy and you do trust it to watch your back, most of the time.
-[X] Depressed, no one seemed to give you a fair chance and you constantly doubt yourself. Even if you do have potential.
-[X] A prodigy, at childhood you could cast spells that most adult mages struggle with, when you came of age, you were something of an expert, despite your young age.
-[X] Love, said to be the most powerful of emotions, it can so easily overpower one's judgement and its rarely the same experience for everyone despite having similar symptoms, it's said that "if you can bottle love, you can do anything".

The QM never stated that taking the "Prodigy" option will slow our progress. That's the opposite of "Prodigy"! If it really slow our progress then what's the point then of this option?

Being a prodigy in the field means that our girl would likely to start tossing meteors, stopping time, and summoning devils way too soon. As in, the sense of progression will be different compared to the scenario of when we learn step by step.

Taking more humble levels of magic proficiency will result in us having to explore the system and QM to elaborate it smoothly, instead of finding the protagonist already at the middle of it (if not higher) and having QM to explain it in a huge chunk.

That just depend on how we will play with the PC.
As for our magic the "Prodigy" option only make it easier to learn, it will be weird if our character at the start know advanced magic. I doubt the QM will do that.
 
I doubt there was any misunderstanding. We're just discussing the desirable pitch of the learning curve.
 
Ok. Just to note: Prodigy does make it easier to learn magic but our girl will have a big stick up her ass about it.
 
Oh I should probably explain the term.

The term basically means that our girl would either be very annoyed about people calling her a prodigy or she would constantly flaunt around her status as a prodigy, dependent on what you would personally go for.

Both are easy to handle... But to be logic about it a cynical/depressed character will be annoyed while a happy out-going one will bask in the praise and attention.
 
[X] Plan Adventurer
-[] Cult of the Storyteller, a new cult that has sprung up, worshiping this figure that they call "The Storyteller" who appears as an old, horribly scarred man, who watches every moment of your life and knows everything. The Cultist's doors are always open to a fellow believer.
-[] Retaining a flighty and happy disposition, the world seemed so serious to you and it's not like you can't be serious, it's more just a case of not needing to be serious all the time.
-[] A very average magician, you can brew a few potions, cast a few spells, burn down a few walls and prove your superiority over the non-mages, but you can't really stand up to expert mages
-[] The Wilds was your home, you grew up with a travelling caravan, travelling the lands of Starford and beyond, you are much more ready to travel and you can almost always find an old friend on the road. You view your familiar as a travelling buddy and you do trust it to watch your back, most of the time.
-[] Adventure, there's nothing quite like the feeling of discovering something new, it's a feeling that you had during childhood and to be honest, its stuck with you as an adult, you always want to find something new.

This way we don't start out already being leagues above our peers, but have the potential to get there while exploring the world around us.

    [X] No religion, its all crap anyway made up to control the populace, not a popular opinion but you do have something of a different viewpoint to discussions.
    [X] In the embrace of nobility, the regent may have had an affair with a serving girl and you may be the unfortunate evidence of that affair, understandably, you aren't all that well treated. The crown prince doesn't mind you though. The Court Mage helped you summon your familiar, you have a deep connection as it was the most understanding companion you had.

    [X] Plan Smiling Wanderer
    -[X] The Wanderers of Bliekyo, a religion that isn't the most organised, but the old faith certainly as ways of surviving the onslaught of the new gods, this religion is everywhere and their followers are obligated to help another wanderer, especially when they are in need.
    -[X] In Eldacar's Rest, at the Royal Orphanage, you never really knew your parents and you don't really want to know them. The Matron there taught girls who had the potential witchcraft, your familiar was the first thing you ever owned, and you love it like nothing else.

    -[x] Somewhat Cynical towards the world, your familiar had the power of telepathy and constantly told you what everyone was thinking.
    -[x] Not all that good to be honest, you can cast a few spells but you've had to rely on running away or melee combat more than you'd like

It's not perfect (for one, I'd prefer it if the write-in Picture 9 was our image, but uh... There is a flaw with that hope... :p) but it's got what I'm most interested in. The Royal background.
